Do you have what it takes to outlast every other Sportsbook.com member and stand alone on a mountain of cash at the end of the NFL season? We are putting up a Grand Prize of $50,000.00 in what should be the biggest NFL Survivor Pool around.
Here is how it works:
On a weekly basis throughout the NFL season, you select a team that you think will win their game outright. Whether they cover the spread is irrelevant, they must simply win the game.
If your team proceeds to win their game, you are still alive and will move onto the next week to select another team. However, if your team loses their game, you will be eliminated from the contest.
Here is the catch; you can’t use the same team twice. For example, if you select the Saints in week one, you can not use them the rest of the season.
Besides some football knowledge and a little foresight, all it takes to enter this generous contest is $25.00. Enter up to 10 times and the more times you enter, the cheaper the entry fees cost.
Price per entry:
1st Entry: $25.00
2nd – 5th entries: $20.00 each
6th – 10th entries: $15.00 each
